Book Launch: Bad Art Mother

Readings Carlton, Woiwurrung Country, 309 Lygon St, Carlton, Victoria, 3053

We are delighted to be hosting the celebration of author and reviewer Edwina Preston’s Bad Art Mother.

Good mothers are expected to be selfless. Artists are seen as selfish. So what does this mean for a mother with artistic ambitions? This is an extraordinary novel of love and art, set in the Melbourne milieu of Georges and Mirka Mora, Joy Hester, and John and Sunday Reed.

This event is free to attend but bookings are essential.

Please book here.


We are committed to providing a safe environment for our staff and customers. Ahead of the event, please visit
